[LOG: ONNI VS ALEX, be sure to read this thread for context!]

I think I can finally start posting to here again. We're still quite a bit ways from the happy ending, but. Well. It seems like a lot of the political types are accepting that even if they want to maneuver around us, they don't know even a tenth of what Juudai and I know about this supernatural stuff, which means we're given quite a fair bit of leverage. For now, anyway.

Now if only that didn't mean mountains of paperwork. Between this and finalization on the building OOPARTS will be in, I've hardly had a moment to myself. Luckily, it's... starting to cool down.

...If anyone is sees Alexandra Grant, she's to be considered extremely dangerous, and stopped if at all possible. I'm. A little embarrassed to admit this information is coming to you guys late. The circumstances of which this occurred happened in the midst of the Barian Island media blackout. But Alex is currently an extremely high-level threat, planning on attacking and, if possible, killing the Astrals.

All of them.

[Private to Susan DeRay]

...Susan, I've gotta talk to you.

Please expound on how she's a high level threat, Onni.

Re: [Private to the Likely Groups]

[becomeanwarrior]

She's currently wielding the powers of a Dark Signer in order to commit genocide on the Astrals.

[isdragonlady]

And you're only bringing this up now?

And why aren't you bringing this up to the Barians?

Re: [Private to Onni and Above Mentioned]

[becomeanwarrior]

...I didn't want to concern them further if... if there was a better option. But in retrospect I should likely send the message to them as well, huh.

I've been a bit shaken up over it, the last few days. I'm not proud of it.

[photonslight]

We need to talk.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Yes, we do, don't we.

[memoryistime]

So, I asked Red what a Dark Signer's supposed to be, given your thread with Shinoko there. And well, here's my feelings:

Ugggh.

UGGHHHH.

UGGGH WHY.

Re: [Filtered Thread]

[becomeanwarrior]

Yeah.

Yeah.

You now understand every day of my life, Shian.

Re: [Filtered Thread]

[arknpcs6]

And I repeat:

You beat them in a contest of magical combat.

You free their souls from the undeath they are damned to.

And then you cremate the bodies so they stay dead.

[naturalcure]

...

...gotta be fucking kidding me...

Where is she now.

[becomeanwarrior]

I don't know. She vanished.

She said she was going after the Astrals. But. I have no idea how she'd even get there, considering last I checked, the only thing that could get anywhere near close was Yuma's airship.

Fuckin' A, I didn't even realize what she was doing until she'd already done it...

[wherethewildthingsare]

...Oh, joy.

[becomeanwarrior]

I am such a fucking moron.

[Private to the people things are private to]

[heroesheart]

There was ALMOST a dull moment here.

What's the plan? Accelerate development of the PSY-Frames? Or Metalphosis? Also, uh...

I could... probably get Angie to help, maybe? Dark Signers are probably good at dealing with other Dark Signers?

Re: [Private to the people things are private to]

[becomeanwarrior]

Accelerating PSY-Frame development might be smart if we're going to be dealing with this kind of stuff, but. I don't know.

Dark Signer stuff was... really kind of before I was looking into stuff this deeply, I'm not sure what the best idea for that would be, techwise.

...You might ask Angie, I dunno. I know she likes staying out of things but. It... could be smart.

[autumnswarm]

... Oh.

Oh my. This doesn't bode well for anyone! I'll rally what I can~

[becomeanwarrior]

Yeah. Try not to rally -too- loud. We don't need this turning into a huge headline just yet.

But uh. Making preparations for some late night shifts might be advisable.


...Wasn't Kaz supposed to be watching you.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

... You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Failnaught and I move the Barian World and wipe out a bunch of the Daemons in an attempt to DEFUSE the entire fucking situation with the Astrals.

And she wants to start it all up again and have Etheric Amon start learning how to fire on Earth?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I mean the Astrals are a bunch of fucking assholes but what the fuck is she doing.

This is the most livid I've been in either of my lifetimes.

[ogrewarrior]

Are you fucking kidding me? I thought this whole nonsense was going to blow over like it looked like it was about to!

[becomeanwarrior]

Kaz, you have no idea how much I wish you'd have been right.

[suzinkazan]

Nope.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Nope?

[Filtered]

[kattobingore]

WHAT?!

Why is she planning on attacking and killing the Astrals?! What happened? My parents are in the Astral World right now helping and guiding the Astrals so them and Eliphas don't make the same mistakes again, so they can find a better way to protect their world that doesn't harm others!

Also, what the hell is a Dark Signer?? I mean, I kinda know what a Signer is, but what's a Dark Signer?

Re: [Filtered]

[becomeanwarrior]

Sorry, Yuma. This is becoming a nightmare... Let's answer the question I -can-.

Dark Signers are the opposite number of Signers. To become a Dark Signer, you need to have... died, with regrets, or anger, or despair in your heart. These people are then revived by an Earthbound Immortal, and driven to oppose the Signers, more or less. They have dark power equal to the Signers at their disposal.

I should note that Alex is acting of her own free will. She doesn't seem to be manipulated by or using the power of her own Earthbound Immortal.

Alex was a Dark Signer once, years ago. But we'd solved the issue... until now. At the end of a duel we had, she... somehow made Rhongomyniad real, impaling herself on his spear. Reigniting her Dark Signer powers.

As to her motives... I can only speculate.

[Filtered]

[i_like_red]

...this is a nightmare. We need to figure out a way to track her down and stop her before she does something we'll all regret.

Re: [Filtered]

[becomeanwarrior]

Isabel's heading off to pick up her trail as we speak. Meanwhile, I've been trying to think of ways she could even -get- to the Astral World on her own, and coming up short. Dark Signer powers are powerful, but they aren't -that- powerful.

Either she's going to try and use some confluence of powers to make a jump somewhere, or she needs a ride, like Yuma's airship.
